Narrative:
We departed the gate with the assigned ramp fuel on board. Release we received had 9;010 ramp fuel and no alt as none was required. We sat longer in line and burned more during taxi than planned. I got the hold fuel reduced to 200 and cross checked that we still had enough fuel to depart when we were number one. When we departed; we encountered headwinds that were about double the forecast and quickly started eating away at our fuel. We decided to stop in bna as a precaution and upon talking to the dispatcher on the ground realized that there was different paperwork in the system with a ramp fuel of 10;100 and an alternate. We were handed the first and fueled off of the first paperwork.
